Default is300 diff in a gs?

Has anyone ever tried to swap in an IS300 diff (w/ factory LSD of course) into a gs300. I have a lsd unit out of an 03 IS that i snagged cheap and was wanting to know if this has been done or if I am gonna go this alone.

I was wondering the same thing since I also have an LSD unit from my old IS300. I called Carson Toyota and they said no. So most likely not. But I would still Like to know 100% for sure

your point the differential itself will and a diff from an sc300 bolts into a 1gs and a turbo auto supra lsd not the six speed iff bolts into that car thus making it compatible wit a 1gs
